Hey Connecticut, our everything hurts

Do you have room for one more? I just saw this thread and that you were planning a ride for this Friday. I have not done the diff breather mod to my truck yet, is your ride going to include deep enough water for me to be concerned? Let me know.

 

No worries on the water...it's an easy ride, just dirt roads.
All the puddles will be frozen anyway.
It sounds like it will be between 10-11am meet up at my place.
PM me for address.

 

Hey I missed you! You can come if you like dogs are more than welcome!
PM me for address we are meeting up between 10-11am on Friday.

 

I promise your truck will be fine unless you can't drive!
It's easy dirt roads.

 

I can't make the run Friday - working both jobs.
Kinda circles all around. I had 1 real job cared too much, worked like it was my name on the building. Got me nothing more than some nice words on an annual review, an extra couple hundred $ a year pay, & all the customers would seek me out which just increased my work load - although I always enjoyed putting customers first. Worked myself to the point my soul was exhausted. Finally had to just walk away from it all.

Now, I work 3 part time jobs. I can't 'not care', but it's finally clear in my head that I am only & simply a replaceable employee, (& each job is replaceable). I make sure the companies get good value for my time that I sell to them, but if they want more of my time - they must pay for it. The biggest learn though - was to say no. NO. not all of my time is for sale. They really want me to come in 2 hours earlier each day (an additional 2 hours/day), but I won't. Time is like money in the bank, you only have so much. Don't let people take it from you without any benefit to yourself, and don't sell the hours you want for yourself. Never forget to be a human of value first, Be an employee after that.

I'd love to come Friday, but to do so would mean screwing co-workers on one of our busiest days. Have a blast on the drive folks.

and - HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

 

Happy Thanksgiving you dam nutmegers!

 

I'm not sure if anyone here is aware of this site or not, but there is a great little web site for locating gravel roads; https://gravelmap.com

I have found some very nice roads here in western CT. that I never knew existed! I've even found a couple that are what I would consider a moderate trail! The one I went over yesterday got to the point that I turned around and went back because the road was flooded with 12-18" of water and I was alone and didn't want to get stuck by myself. I use this map in conjunction with the Rever app so I can plan out my rides. Rever https://a.rever.co is a cool web site/app that easily allows you to plan rides then download the map to you phone and use the phone for guidance.

Check them out and let me know what you think.

 

Happy turkey day!

 

Morning everyone. Happy Thursday and happy Thanksgiving!

 

Hey - those are some great tools there. Never heard of either.
Gravel map - I had no clue there were so many dirt roads near me. Going to have to reinstall the mud (stone) flaps.
The rever app really doesn't want to tell you what it is, so a link with details: https://rever.co/how-it-works/

thanks for the info!

 

Happy T day guys!! No kids for us till sat!! Nice Chinese dinner tonite too!!! Looking at all the Black Friday deals to get ready!!! Between the truck and guns I’m dying trying to figure out what to get!!! Definitely getting those ajt knobs for my climate controls, and some AR build parts. Still looking for a nice white or black truck cap too for my short bed!!! Have a great day everyone!!!

 

How long is the ride going to be? I may have to bail

 

Happy Thanksgiving (and work-free Thursday), everyone!

About to head out to the fiance's parents' place for dinner, aka booze/football/overeating. Nice and chilly out...taking the train to avoid traffic. Stay safe out there today, folks! Lots of questionable drivers after dinner.

 

Im a little late but i hope everyone had a great turkey day.
For those that had to work,been there ,done that.
Worked at SNET/ ATT. Worked many holidays as the kids were with thier mother,so i worked so those who had kids and wifes and family could enjoy the day.
The $$$ was great 2 1/2 times the standard rate so the incentive was there.
So enjoy the rest of the day.

Hope everyone is as turkey-coma’d as I am. Looking forward to tomorrow. Charged up the camera and GoPro just in case.

 

I'm still a go tomorrow just got back home... I'll sleep when I'm dead

 

2 hours minimum I'm guessing, depends on routes stops and how much we want to play around.

 

Morning everyone. Happy Friday. Be safe out there. Heading to NYC with the bro in law and the fam for some sight seeing. Gonna be "interesting" because of the little ones.

 

Sweet have fun and stay warm

 

Good morning all, looking forward to the ride today, leaving shortly. Just one quick question, is this ride strictly CT. or does it wonder into Ma.?
